Not that it's surprising, but the 43 economists of the Economists' Policy Group on Women's Issues graded John McCain and Barack Obama on 10 issues of importance to women and Obama came out ahead. McCain got an "F" because the group was concerned that his positions would do harm to women. [US News & World Report]

Even as Rachel Maddow prepares to take the helm of her own show at MSNBC, Barack Obama is slipping in the polls even as McCain isn't rising in them. That doesn't sit so well with
Spencer »8/20/08 10:00am 8/20/08 10:00am and , so we parse the polls, the racists and what Obama's campaign needs to start doing (hint: it involves testicles and a…

Barack Obama is the nominee. Hillary is making her case for VP. Tomorrow I'll tell y'all about the one time during this campaign I entertained the thought of switching allegiances on the whole "Remember The Sisterhood" premise, but right now I'll just say I'm pretty stoked. Don't get me wrong, I loved the primaries.… »6/03/08 6:00pm 6/03/08 6:00pm

Hillary suffered a coughing fit in South Dakota today and might give up altogether tomorrow. I have been suffering coughing fits all weekend and I haven't even managed to give up smoking, so I'm not placing any bets, but apparently there's a deal in the works for the Obama campaign to Bernanke her Bear Stearns.

What is going on here? Is Al Qaeda really internally imploding while this guy is still in office? What did the Mormon mind control pedophiles do to warrant getting their kids back? What the fuck is Condi Rice doing with KISS? What does Peggy Noonan make of Scott McClellan? Is Scott McClellan crushing on Obama? What's… »5/30/08 10:00am 5/30/08 10:00am

Some stuff happened today, but I'm skipping the roundup today so I can leave you with this Scott McClellan clip, because we haven't covered this issue enough, for instance we haven't pointed out that he now has no friends, because he's a leper with the Grody Old Party and no one likes Bush at this point so heartless… »5/29/08 5:30pm 5/29/08 5:30pm

You know how yesterday I said What Happened was a good name for the Scott McClellan book? Yeah well WTF would have obviously been better. So anyway: Day Two of Scott McClellan WTF patrol. This morning he went on Today and seemed pretty fucking sincere. Of course, high-minded idealists such as the New York Times … »5/29/08 10:00am 5/29/08 10:00am

Dana Perino used the word "puzzled" to describe the Bush Administration's reaction to Scott McClellan's takedown, which is funny because, as we "reported" earlier, he used the word "puzzled" to describe his reaction to President Bush's puzzlement over the…

If there was a Bush administration official who was as painful to listen to as Bush himself — and that is probably scientifically impossible but humor us for a second — it was Scott McClellan. Dana Perino is dumb but so prettily, unabashedly so, Victoria Clarke always had those insane purple suits, Rumsfeld made his… »5/28/08 10:30am 5/28/08 10:30am
